    When you hit the Quote button you will get a Quote Text with two tags one at the start and one at the end.

    If you only want to use a bit of the quote just delete the text you do not want,the only thing you need to leave is the two Quote tags at the start and the end.

    I hope thats clear.Let me know if you need any more help.

    You will notice that there is two Quote buttons,the multi quote button is the second one.

    If you want to multi quote say the last three posts just go alone over the last three posts and click the multi quote button.Then click new reply and the 3 posts will all be ready for you to reply to.

    Try it on the last three posts on this thread...?

    All you do is wright the text you want so say LiverpoolFC.TV now copy the url on the site so in this case it is http://www.liverpoolfc.tv/

    Now select/highlight the text you want to become the link in this case LiverpoolFC.TV,now you need to click on the 'insert link' icon it is just below the Smiley icon and looks like a world with a chain around the bottom.Now all thats left for you to do is paste the url into the box and that should be it.

    I hope that makes sense.
